Top 3 best players from each

Faking in football Page 5
Leon Davis Interview page 7
Football has some of the best athletes in the
world. They’re fast, smart and skilled. The
players have evolved dramatically from smash
em up to highly skilled, like Chris Judd. He
picks the ball up and it looks like the players
aren’t trying to tackle him the way he evades
them. Another is Travis Cloke he just crashes
through packs and the ball lands straight in
his hands; he turns around and slots it straight
through. So here’s who I think is the top three
from each club.

Faking in
Football
Should this
be called a
free Kick?
5
Faking has become more evident in football with lots of people ducking to get free kicks. It’s wrong free kicks are meant to protect players but now players are putting them-selves in dangerous posi-tions to get free kicks. Then when the players who’s got his head down gets tackled the player who tackles him might get fined. But it’s a dou-ble edged sword the player who has his head down can get seriously injured if he’s hit head on.
We don’t want football turning into soccer, people diving in every direction every time a foot comes near them, it’s wrong. Faking is cheating. That’s what Mick Malthouse said and I agree. Angus Monfries has come out and con-fessed he was faking
Another type of fak-ing is when a player is getting tackled and he takes a dive. It’s not just the play-ers that should pick up their game but the umpires to. They shouldn’t pay a free kick when it’s fak-ing. Sometimes when I’m in the stands even I know it’s faking. Even in the extreme case they should maybe get reported after a series of fakings.
Faking in football is growing more evident. Keep the game as it is and don’t let the game turn into soccer. Faking shouldn’t come into AFL.

Leon Davis has gone from an ok player to one of the
best players at Collingwood. His setting up down the
field is amazing and he can also kick a goal. In my
opinion I think he’s definitely in the top 5 of
Collingwood's best players. He unfortunately missed
last years Granny because of bad form, but he’s
bounced back. So here’s my exclusive interview
with him.

What do you think about missing last years second gran-
ny?
“ I wasn’t real happy, but I knew I was out of form and I
had few side issues and wasn’t really enjoying footy.’’
What were the side issues?
“Just family issues”
Do you like your new role as a backman?
“Yeah I do like playing with the boys down back I
think it’s a good role for me I like
Running and setting up. But I also like kicking a
goal”
Have you heard anything about Mick Malthouse (the
Collingwood coach) leaving ?
No I’m pretty sure he’s staying at Collingwood. I really
hope he does, he’s a great guy.
Do you think Collingwood will make the granny this year?
I hope so but there are some tough competition like Geelong
And other clubs are rising.
What do you think about the sub rule?
I personally think it’s a bad thing there are more injuries hap-
pening and clubs are stills getting smashed.
